We now offer you the perfect excuse to take a break from snow shoveling (as if you needed one). It's a Super Bowl week edition of the top 10 Useless Information factoids of the week:
10. So you think it's been a stormy month for Pete Rose, huh? Loyal reader Phil Yabut says that should have been no surprise -- since the National Hurricane Center's list of Atlantic storm names last year had these two back-to-back: Peter and Rose.
9. A bunch of readers had a tremendous observation about the note in our last Useless Info column which reported that the last eight American League MVPs had all come from the smallest division in baseball -- the AL West. So which AL West team didn't produce an MVP during that streak? The Angels -- who, of course, were the only team in the division to win the World Series in that stretch.
8. No 300-game winner has ever finished his career with an ERA that matched his win total (well, sort of). But as reader Stuart Finkelstein reports, Greg Maddux is currently at 289 wins with a 2.89 ERA. Meanwhile, Roger Clemens is now at 310 wins with a 3.19 ERA. So they both have a shot. If they're wondering (or anyone else is), here are the closest finishes in that loveably ridiculous category, according to Lee Sinins' Sabermetric Encyclopedia:
Don Sutton: 324 wins, 3.26 ERA
Gaylord Perry: 314 wins, 3.11 ERA
Nolan Ryan: 324 wins, 3.19 ERA
Lefty Grove: 300 wins, 3.06 ERA
Steve Carlton: 329 wins, 3.22 ERA
Incidentally, if Maddux feels like retiring now, he'd be the only pitcher with more than zero wins who has ever pulled off this fascinating feat.
7. Speaking of 300-game winners, we also passed along a note from a reader in our last edition which reported that, with the death of Warren Spahn, Steve Carlton had taken over the crown as the winningest living pitcher. Spahn had assumed the title 42 years earlier, with his 301st win in 1961. But loyal reader Durand Luger reports that Spahn's 42-year reign seems like two weeks, compared with the reign of Grove's predecessor, Cy Young.
Young passed Kid Nichols in 1902 (when he collected win No. 330) and then hung onto that title for an incredible 53 years. So in a period of more than 100 years, just three men could ever say they were the winningest living pitcher -- Young, Grove and Spahn. Hard to believe.
6. It's probably been a long time since you've thought much about the Devil Rays. But Devil Rays media-relations genius Rick Vaughn reports that the 361 combined hits by Rocco Baldelli (turned 22 on Sept. 25) and Carl Crawford (turned 22 on Aug. 5) last year were the most by teammates that young since 1940, when Bobby Doerr and some guy named Ted Williams combined for 366.
5. On the other hand, the Devil Rays became just the second team in modern history to have a higher batting average than its opponents (.265 to .264) and still lose 99 games or more. The other was the 1954 Orioles, who outhit their opponents, .251 to .250, but even topped the Rays -- by losing 100.
4. Here's the perfect note for this joyous election season. Loyal reader Christopher J. Fried reports that it shouldn't have surprised anyone that the Yankees lost the World Series last October. It's all George W. Bush's fault.
Since 1958, the Yankees have played 20 seasons with a Democrat in the White House -- and won eight World Series. But in their 25 seasons after a Republican gave the State of the Union, the Yankees are 0-for-25. They've now lost five straight World Series under Republican administrations. Think George Steinbrenner will vote Democratic this fall after he reads this note?
3. It's hard to imagine a baseball season without Jesse Orosco -- considering that back in the last season without him (1978), Jim Bouton and Wilbur Wood were still active. Among Orosco's fabulous claims to fame is this: He played with six teams after turning 40, not even counting the Diamondbacks (who signed him this winter). According to the Elias Sports Bureau, only one other player ever made that six-team tour in his 40s -- Gaylord Perry. Amazingly, he was right-handed.
2. Meanwhile, here's the best way to look at how long Orosco was around. He made his big-league debut on April 5, 1979. Know how many players appeared in a big-league game last season who weren't even alive that day? Would you believe 133 (according to Elias)? We kid you not.
1. Finally, our grand-prize winner this week (even though there's no grand prize except the thrill of appearing in this column) is loyal reader Leo McMichael. He got to thinking about the fact that this year marks the 40th anniversary of the Beatles appearing on the Ed Sullivan Show -- and challenged us to come up with a note befitting that occasion.
OK, here goes. Since 1964, here is the total of players getting at least one at-bat in the big leagues with the name of ...
Pauls (including Josh Paul) -- 50
Johns (including Tommy John) -- about 300 (sorry, too many to count)
Georges (not including Jeff George) -- about 100 (ditto)
Ringos -- 0
McCartneys -- 0
Lennons -- 1 (Patrick)
Harrisons -- 2 (Roric and Chuck)
Starrs -- 0
Now that, friends, is useless information!
The Patriots are in the Super Bowl two years after winning a Super Bowl -- and one year after missing the playoffs altogether. So how many baseball teams have followed that script -- won a World Series, missed the postseason the next year, then won the World Series the following year? How about five (but none since division play). Here's the list:
1911-13 A's
1916-18 Red Sox
1939-41 Yankees
1944-46 Cardinals
1947-49 Yankees
1963-65 Dodgers

Since 1970, Skateville Family Rollerskating Center has facilitated friction-free entertainment on a classic indoor wooden rink. Multicolored lights tumble from retro fixtures high above the skating surface, swathing skaters in incandescent hues and mirages of Mardi Gras beads. In addition to hosting guests during open-skate hours, the family-owned roller arena gathers classes and groups together for field trips and fundraisers. The snack bar's hot dogs and soft drinks keep skaters energized, and an onsite arcade keeps hands from whining about all of the foot-centric entertainment.

Understanding frame labels
Understanding frame labels
A great way to add interactivity to your Flash applications is to use something called Frame Labels. In this movie we'll talk about what Frame Labels are and how to create them. If you're following along, I'm working in O2_Understanding_Labels.fla in the Chapter 06 folder in the Exercise Files folder. On the stage, let's double-click the robot to enter its timeline. Currently clicking the dance 1, 2 or 3 buttons navigate to frame 1, 2 or 3 of the robot movie clip.
Now if I were to move these frames around, so let's say I selected frame 3 and I moved it to frame 15, and I selected frame 2, then I moved it to frame 10, if I tested the movie, then the buttons wouldn't work properly. I can show how that works right now. Command+Return on the Mac or Ctrl+Enter on the PC to test the movie. When I click the buttons, it seems that the buttons aren't working. But what's happening is Flash is navigating to frame 1 for dance 1, frame 2 for dance 2, and frame 3 for ...

Investors in Moody's (MCO) have had a great year, despite ongoing criticism that credit rating agencies did not do enough to stop the financial crisis.
Shares of Moody's rose sharply in the first half the year, after the company posted a 47% increase in profits that topped analysts forecast, as well as raising its full-year guidance. The company also hiked its dividend by 22% to 14 cents a share.
Moody's earnings have been bolstered by the bond market's recovery in the past year. Typically each large bond issuer, such as states, cities or major corporations, will get their credit rating reviewed by the big three credit agencies -- Moody's, Standard & Poor's and Fitch. Corporate debt is at near-record levels and muni bonds, which took a hit earlier this year, have returned to popularity in the past couple months.

|Study says benefits of creatine minimal
Associated Press
PARIS -- French food safety experts linked the sports
supplement creatine to a potential risk of cancer and urged it be
listed as a banned substance.
The use of creatine supplements, "particularly in the long
term," constitutes "a potential carcinogenic risk," said a
report by France's Food Safety Agency published on the body's
official Web site.
The report said that potential risks associated with taking
creatine were "currently insufficiently evaluated," and that the
product was of little benefit to athletes hoping to improve their
Creatine is an amino acid produced naturally by the liver and
kidneys and stored in muscles. Athletes take creatine supplements
to gain extra energy, train longer and bulk up.
The supplement is popular among pro and college athletes in the
United States, where it is considered a legal alternative to
steroids. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration lists it as a food
supplement and allows it to be sold with no more restrictions than
those on vitamins.
Creatine is not listed as a banned substance by the
International Olympic Committee, but its sale is illegal in France.
High-profile athletes who say they have used creatine include
slugger Mark McGwire and tennis player Mary Pierce.
The document, published Wednesday, urged sports governing bodies
to consider listing creatine as a banned substance.
Its use "involves a risk disproportionate to its
effectiveness," Jean-Louis Berta, a food safety expert at AFSSA,
said in an interview.
"Its harmlessness is far from being ascertained," he said.
Past studies have indicated that creatine helps the body build
muscle and store energy, and could even assist in preventing brain
damage after traumatic head injuries.
But the report by AFSSA's committee of experts on human
nutrition found that the increased muscle bulk resulting from the
use of creatine supplements was largely due to water retention.
The experts also concluded that widespread claims concerning
gains in strength and speed from taking creatine supplements were
unfounded. A proven effect was only noticeable in activities
lasting around 15 seconds, the report found.
In addition to pointing out the potential cancer risk, the AFSSA
report cited studies that associated creatine use with "digestive,
muscular and cardiovascular problems."

Apple Seeds OS X Yosemite 10.10.5 Beta 2 to Developers
Apart from seeding the second beta of iOS 8.4.1 to developers for testing, the guys from Cupertino have also made OS X Yosemite 10.10.5 available for registered developers. I'd like to point out that this versions in only a minor update that contains a number of bug fixes, performance improvements and stability enhancements. You won't see any design changes or new features added to OS X 10.10.5.
Apple Releases iOS 8.4.1 Beta 2 to Developers
Apple has recently seeded the second beta of iOS 8.4.1 to developers for testing. The release comes two weeks after the release of the very first version of iOS 8.4.1 and about a month after the debut of iOS 8.4 that contained s completely revamped Music app supporting Apple Music.
Global iPhone Market Share Continues to Grow - Strategy Analytics
According to the latest report from Strategy Analytics, the market share of Apple's iPhone grew from 8.2% in the second quarter of 2014 to 10.9% in the second quarter of this year. The analysts claim that over the last few months, the guys from Cupertino have sold 47.5 million iPhone units. Last year, the number of iPhone units sold to customers worldwide was equal to 35.2 million. As you see, the difference is sales and market share is easily noticeable.
Apple Remains Top Vendor of Declining Tablet Market - IDC
According to the latest report from a research firm IDC, the global tablet market continues to decline. Apple, however, remains the largest and the most successful tablet vendor with the market share of 24.5% and 10.9 million iPad units sold to customers worldwide in the second quarter of 2015. In the second quarter of 2014, Apple's market share was equal to 27.7% and the number of tablets shipped accounted for 13.3 million units.
Apple Releases Third OS X 10.11 El Capitan Beta to Public Testers
As you probably know, Apple on Monday seeded the fifth beta of OS X 10.11 El Capitan to developers for testing. Following this release, the guys from Cupertino have made the third pre-release version of their newest desktop operating system available for the members of public beta testing program. Just like El Capitan Beta 5 for developers, this one can boast of a number of stability, performance and security improvements as well as some minor changes for Safari and Spotlight.
Apple Watch Motivates People to be More Physically Active
According to the latest report from a research firm called Wristly, the Apple Watch has motivated a wide number of early purchasers to start going in for sports and lead a much healthier lifestyle. As shown in the chart below, 75% of the smartwatch buyers have started standing more, 67% have started walking more and 57% have started exercising more with the Apple Watch on their wrist. In general, most of the customers indicated that the device encouraged them to be more physically active and in such a way changed their daily routine. The survey was conducted among 1000 early Apple Watch buyers, that is why the results can be called objective.
Apple Music Now Can Boast of 10 Million Subscribers
According to the latest rumors shared by industry sources citing Apple, over the last four weeks, more than 10 million users have subscribed for the long-awaited Beats-based streaming music service called Apple Music. 10 million in just one month is a great result, however, keeping in mind that the new service has been launched in about 100 countries simultaneously, the number of active subscribers could have been even bigger.
Apple Seeds OS X 10.11 El Capitan Beta 5 to Developers and Public Testers
Apple has recently seeded the fifth pre-release build of OS X 10.11 El Capitan to developers for testing. The fourth beta was released only a week ago and the very first El Capitan version was officially announced in June at Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference. As you probably know, this version of Apple's desktop operating system can boast of a wide number of under-the-hood improvements, but lacks new features or noticeable design tweaks.
iPad mini 4 to Get Better Processor, 8MP Camera and Other Improvements - Rumor
According to the latest report published by the Japanese blog Macotakara, the iPad mini 4, which is expected to be released this fall, will be a smaller copy of the iPad Air 2. People familiar with the matter claim the tablet will get an updated 64-bit A8 processor, 802.11ac Wi-Fi and the 8-megapixel rear camera. Moreover, the fourth-generation iPad mini will become thinner - only 6.1mm.
Boot Speed Test: iPod touch 6G Is Faster Than iPod touch 5G
As you know, the guys from Cupertino have recently released a new iPod touch. The sixth iteration of the iPod touch has a 4-inch display and can boast of the 64-bit A8 processor with M8 motion coprocessor, 8-megapixel iSight camera and a bunch of other improvements that make it different from the iPod touch 5G.
Apple Reportedly Killed 4-inch iPhone 6c to Sell More iPhone 6 Units
According to Timothy Arcuri of Cowen and Company, Apple has initially planned to release a 4-inch iPhone 6c this fall. The decision to halt the development and production of the smaller handset until the next year may be connected with the fact that the 6c can possibly reduce the demand and sales of the iPhone 6, which was released in 2014. It is quite obvious that the guys from Cupertino want to sell as many iPhone 6 and 6 Plus units as possible and releasing a new lower-cost iPhone is definitely not the best way to do this.
Top 10 Stories of the Week
It is Sunday today, which means it is high time I told you about the most interesting posts of the past seven days. Let's not waste time and take a look at the articles worth your attention right now.
Here's How iPhone 7 Concept Looks Like [Video]

Although we haven't yet seen Apple's smartphones, which should be unveiled this year, two designers have recently released a new video showing the iPhone 7 concept. This concept can boast of a new A10 processor, wireless charging capabilities and a refreshed look. You can take a look at the next-gen iPhone model below.

According to the latest report from a German magazine called Manager Magazin, Apple was in negotiations with the German car manufacturer BMW concerning the possibility to use the BMW i3 platform for the upcoming electric vehicle, which is expected to be released in 2020. The guys from Cupertino planned to use i3's lightweight carbon fiber body as a basis for their own car, however, for some reason the companies decided to halt the talks and concentrate on other projects.

However, Cayce also said that the ancients, led by a charismatic High Priest named Ra Ta, and an architecht named Hermes, were contempory with a failing, and soon to vanish Atlantean civilization, dated by no less than Plato to 10,000 BCE!
In this important book, certain to be followed by others, Andrew Collins begins to answer the challenge posed by traditional archeology:"where is the evidence." He draws on overlooked reports of early archeology, as well as traditional wisdom, local legend, and textual evidence in known antiquities to build a powerful case that the evidence has been under everyones noses all along!
Drawing on all this material Collins puts theory into practice and rediscovers a vast complex of tunnels and caves under the giza plateau! Portions of which show obvious evidence of human alteration. He presents a powerful case that the mythical Hall of Records described by Cayce and many other ancient and modern mystics is located and can be accessed by exploring, and understanding this complex in the context of Egyptian tradition and wisdom.
Some will be dissappointed that Collins hasn't discovered the hall itself, but I think he is being careful and responsible: putting together the pieces of the puzzle in a way that honors the builders of that distant past, rather than playing the arrogant westerner imposing his views (or trying to)on a skeptical Egyptian Archeological establishment.Read more ›
Then, there are the 'seekers', i.e., those who sense, discern, feel or are drawn to things Egyptological because they 'seek' to know more about the world, at a deeper level than at just being a tourist. Andrew Collins book, 'Digging Beneath the Pyramids' is NOT for tourists and, for most seekers even, Andrew's 'Digging' may seem, at first glance, to be as one reviewer called it 'thin'.
Nothing could miss the mark more than this approach. I have been studying the Edgar Cayce material for over 40 years and have been infatuated with Egypt for over 50. During this time, I have read just about every book I, as a layman, could get my hands on regarding Egypt so have at least a limited layman's knowledge about what Andrew's book 'Digging is about...at least I think I do.
So, dear reader, allow me to share with you what I think is going on with 'Digging' and why this is one of the MOST important books on the whole question of rediscovery of the hidden roots of the human race to have come along in a long, long time.
Andrew's interest in Egypt (if you follow his website and his prior works...especially 'The Cygnus Mystery'), lays the groundwork for the discoveries that are described in 'Digging Beneath the Pyramids'. Why?Read more ›
Beneath The Pyramids is sort of a cross between ancient Egyptian history and Indiana Jones type real life adventure.
The historical aspect was very interesting to me as it informed me about points of the ancient Egyptian religion(s) that I had not heard before. The book is very well researched. Some of the conclusions are admittedly hypothetical, but overall I found the book to be interesting and informative.
The very fact that these tunnels exist at all is astounding, but the fact that no one is saying or writing much about them is mystifying to me. It seems that a (re)discovery such as this would set the researchers of Giza into a whirlwind of activity and study. And maybe it would have if it weren't for the ending of the book, where Collins deems it important to the preservation of the site to turn over the information he obtained about the caverns to the enemy of Egyptian Studies, Zahi Hawass.
No other man is responsible for more deliberate obfuscation of the facts than Hawass. Any kind of serious research that could shed some new light on Ancient Egypt's past is immediately silenced by him if he deems that is differs from what conventional history has told us, no matter the degree of evidence.
The book overall is interesting, and deserves a read by anyone interested in the subject of the Giza Plateau, but enjoy what you get there because since Mr. Hawass is now involved, you probably won't hear anything more about it.

Camouflage gets Steve Irwin through pirate alley
by Sea Shepherd/Sail-World Cruising on 9 May 2011
The Steve Irwin - imagine her camouflaged and a large '77' on her hull .. .
It wouldn't work for a sailing boat, but aggressive conservationist ship Steve Irwin has successfully used camouflage and a large '77' emblazoned on its hull to deter pirates while transiting the Arabian Sea and the Gulf of Aden.
What the pirates thought is anyone's guess, and they would certainly have been confused by the piracy symbol of the skull and crossbones on the flag.
Here is the account of the incident by the owner, the Sea Shepherd organisation:
The Steve Irwin successfully ran the gauntlet of Somali pirates today as the ship and crew transited the Gulf of Aden to the Red Sea under the command of Captain Lockhart MacLean.
Their position was 12 degrees, 33 minutes North and 43 degrees and 31 minutes East at the time.
Yesterday a U.S. military Blackhawk helicopter overflew the Steve Irwin and hailed the vessel as a Dutch warship.
If the camouflage paint job and the large '77' emblazoned on the bow fooled the U.S. military, Sea Shepherd was hoping that the pirates would also be mistaken and would keep their distance.
Today three skiffs with six men in one, five in another and two in the third approached the Steve Irwin and tailed the vessel for a few miles. They appeared to be uncertain and backed off to check out a container ship a three miles distance from the Sea Shepherd ship.
Captain Lockhart MacLean notified the coalition naval authorities in the area and warned the Maersk container ship that the skiffs were approaching them.
To the pirates it must have looked like the Steve Irwin was a warship escorting the container ship. The skiffs backed off and both ships successfully entered the Red Sea.
The Steve Irwin is now heading to the Suez Canal.

A check engine light has come on and according to the owners manuel for my car, that light is referring to the emissions system. I was able to retrieve the codes using the CP9125 OBD II Code Reader, but I am not quite sure how to erase the codes. How do I go about erasing them? Also, according the OBD II manuel, it says that if the codes are MIL, to turn on the car while retrieving the codes. Is that step correct? I am just curious because I do not want to cause any more issues than what is already occurring with my car.

|Cat. no. Z7291
|Novobiocin Differentiation Disk, 5ug
|50 disks/cartridge
HardyDisk™ Novobiocin Differentiation Disks are useful for presumptively distinguishing Staphylococcus saprophyticus from other coagulase-negative staphylococci in clinical specimens.
Coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS) are among those organisms that have traditionally been considered skin contaminants, and their recovery from cultures doesn't always indicate presence of disease. Therefore, little attention had been paid to the pathogenic potential of this group of bacteria until recently. By the mid-1970's, microbiologists were becoming aware that CoNS could indeed be pathogenic, especially in compromised hosts. (10) Today, S. saprophyticus has proven to be an important uropathogen. (9) It is second only to E. coli as the most common cause of cystitis and acute urinary tract infection (UTI) in healthy, young adult women. (5) S. saprophyticus tends to adhere to uroepithelial cells more often and more successfully than other staphylococcal species, this is believed to partially explain the organism's frequent role in urinary tract infections. (5,8)
The HardyDisk™ Novobiocin Differentiation Disks are useful in presumptively distinguishing S. saprophyticus from other CoNS. Other human staphylococcal species that are novobiocin-resistant ( S. cohnii , S. xylosus , S. pulvereri ) are rarely isolated from patients. (2-5) The novobiocin susceptibility test can be done using a plate method (18-24 hour test) or a tube method (5 hour test). A study conducted by Harrington and Gaydos in 1984, concluded that the novobiocin tube test is an acceptable method when performed using Tryptic Soy Broth (TSB), 3ml, and has the advantage of taking only 5 hours. (6) While the plate method is the more common approach of the two, both procedures are outlined in the section entitled "Procedure".
Each HardyDisk™ Novobiocin Differentiation Disk is prepared by impregnating 5ug of novobiocin onto high quality 6mm diameter filter paper disks.
Storage: Upon receipt store at -20 to +8 degrees C. away from direct light. The disks should not be used if there are any signs of deterioration, discoloration, or if the expiration date has passed. Protect from light, excessive heat, and moisture.
The expiration date applies to the product in its intact packaging when stored as directed.
This product is for in vitro diagnostic use only and is to be used only by adequately trained and qualified laboratory personnel. Observe approved biohazard precautions and aseptic techniques. All laboratory specimens should be considered infectious and handled according to "standard precautions". The "Guideline for Isolation Precautions" is available from the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention at www.cdc.gov/ncidod/dhqp/gl_isolation.html .
For additional information regarding specific precautions for the prevention of the transmission of all infectious agents from laboratory instruments and materials, and for recommendations for the management of exposure to infectious disease, refer to CLSI document M29.
Sterilize all biohazard waste before disposal.
Refer to the keyword "Precautions", in the Hardy Diagnostics software program HUGO™, for more information regarding general precautions when using culture media.
Refer to the keyword "MSDS", in the Hardy Diagnostics software program HUGO™, for more information on handling potentially hazardous material.
Specimen Collection: This product is not intended for primary isolation of patient specimens. It should be used only with cultures of isolated organisms. This product is used in conjunction with other biochemical tests to identify cultures of isolated organism.
Plate Method:
1. Allow disks to equilibrate to room temperature.
2. Using a pure 18-24 hour culture, prepare a suspension, equivalent to a McFarland 0.5 opacity standard, in Tryptic Soy Broth (TSB, Cat. no. R30), Sterile Water (Cat. no. U85), or Brain Heart Infusion (BHI) Broth (Cat. no. R15).
3. Inoculate Mueller Hinton Agar (Cat. no. G45), Blood Agar, 5% (Cat. no. A10), or Tryptic Soy Agar (TSA, Cat. no. G60) plate with a sterile swab to obtain confluent growth.
4. Aseptically apply one novobiocin disk onto the inoculated agar surface and lightly press down to ensure full contact with the medium.
5. Incubate aerobically for 18-24 hours at 35-37 degrees C.
6. Measure (in millimeters) the diameter of the zone of inhibition around the novobiocin disk, and record as susceptible or resistant. See section below, entitled "Interpretation of Results."
Tube Method:
1. Using a pure 18-24 hour culture, lightly inoculate two 3ml TSB tubes (Cat. no. R41) with the organism to be tested. The inoculum should be light, with no visible turbidity.
2. Immediately after inoculation, add one novobiocin disk to one of the tubes and shake for 5-10 seconds. The tube without the novobiocin disk will be the control tube.
3. Incubate both tubes aerobically at 35-37 degrees C. for up to 5 hours, or until the control tube (without novobiocin disk) shows turbidity comparable to that of a McFarland 0.5 opacity standard.
4. Check for turbidity in the tube containing the novobiocin disk as compared with the control tube, and record as susceptible or resistant. See section below, entitled "Interpretation of Results".
Plate Method:
Sensitive - A zone of inhibition greater than 16mm.
Resistant - A zone of inhibition less than or equal to 16mm. (2)
Tube Method:
Sensitive - Turbidity is less than the control tube.
Resistant - Turbidity is more than or equal to the control tube.
It is recommended that biochemical and/or serological tests be performed on colonies from pure culture for complete identification.
The novobiocin disk is not helpful and can give misleading results if it is performed on isolates other that those from urinary specimens.
Occasional human isolates that are not S. saprophyticus , S. cohnii subsp., or S. xylosis may also be resistant to novobiocin. (5)
Refer to the keyword "Limitations", in the Hardy Diagnostics software program HUGO™, for more information regarding general limitations on culture media.
Standard microbiological supplies and equipment such as loops, other culture media, swabs, applicator sticks, incinerators, and incubators, etc., as well as serological and biochemical reagents, are not provided.
The following organisms are routinely used for testing at Hardy Diagnostics:
(Plate/Tube Method)
Staphylococcus saprophyticus
Resistant -
Plate: Zone is less than or equal to 16mm
Tube: Turbidity is more than or equal to control tube
Staphylococcus epidermidis
Sensitive -
Plate: Zone is greater than 16mm
Tube: Turbidity is less than control tube
User Quality Control
Check for signs of contamination and deterioration. It is recommended that each new lot of disks be tested with known positive and negative controls and retested each week of use thereafter. Refer to the following keywords, in the Hardy Diagnostics software program HUGO™, for more information on QC: "Introduction to QC", "QC of Finished Product", and "The CLSI (NCCLS) Standard and Recommendations for User QC of Media". Also see listed references for more information. (3-6)
* Refer to section above, entitled "Procedures" for a description of inoculation procedures, incubation time and temperature.

12 college football stadiums that should be on your bucket list
More on Notre Dame Stadium
Capacity: 80,795
Construction completed in 1930
From Touchdown Jesus to the wall-hung "Play like a champion today" sign in the hallway outside the Notre Dame locker room, the house that Knute Rockne built is steeped in tradition. The Notre Dame Victory March is arguably the most recognizable fight song in the country, and the school's band is the oldest university band in existence. This hallowed stadium has been home to seven Heisman Trophy winners, and the Fighting Irish have played 436 games (324-107-5) in the stadium heading into Saturday's contest against BYU. Only once since 1966 has there not been a sellout crowd. No team that has played at the stadium at least four times owns a winning record against the home team.
Notre Dame Stadium has stayed largely true to its original construction — it still has wooden benches — and in 1997 the stadium was renovated to upgrade the facility, adding more than 21,000 seats to make the current capacity reach near 81,000. With the golden hues, the traditional striped end zones and the colors of fall in the surrounding foliage, this is one site that college football fans dream about experiencing.

Having worked at Notre Dame and attended several football games, I must say that it would be hard to duplicate the spirit, loyalty, and spirit associated with playing football in Notre Dames stadium. You have to be there to appreciate the experience. Notre Dame is a class act University.

Texas A&M but the crowd, chants, etc... out of this world!
Other favorites: Neyland (Tenn) and for personal reasons Gaylord Family (OU). Another older stadium, but fun crowd is Doak Campbell (Florida St) When they get going that chant they do is awesome.

So. Cal Reader.... to your question, the Coliseum is hurt by the very thing you
cited... it is a general sports venue where the field is set off by a track and
is longer then most standiums putting fans further from the action. Historic,
yes. Beautiful, yes. Good (or Great) for football - no. My favorite is
Michigan followed by Notre Dame.
Both the Utah and Y stadiums are in great settings (the view around them), but as far a great football venues, particularly Edwards is the most in need up updating. Great view, venue itself lacks.

@So Cal Reader. As far as I am concerned the Coliseum should definitely be on
the list At various times it has been the home of both USC, UCLA plus the Los
Angeles Rams, Raiders, Chargers, home of the first Super Bowl and home to the
Los Angeles Dodgers when they came west'
The Utah stadiums are nor worthy of the list.
